I finished my '80 and '09 albums about 90% and I had to skip '10. This year I picked it back up again. I just finished my 2011 album along with putting the finishing touches on my '08 & '09 albums.

I thought I'd share a few pages from my 2011 album with you. This year I decided to keep it simple and just do a 3 ring binder for the album with divided page protectors.
The divided page protectors helped the album come together very fast. I didn't have time to work on it in December, but was able to finish it in a just a few days in January.
I just kept a word doc on my laptop and wrote down what we did each day. That along with my instagram photos saved me. I was able to go back though December and document what we did most days.
After I finished up I sat and looked at all 3 albums and could not get over how much the kids had changed in those 4 years. It's crazy, they grow so fast you just miss it everyday.

I love that album you used with the "pinked" edges. Where did you find it?
Beautiful albums! They all have such a beautiful , high quality feel. I love and can appreciate all the details in every page. Gorgeous!
What a beautiful idea! Some great gift for your children in the future.
Oh- LOVE! I really like those kinds of ages that are all divided- seems like it makes it so much easier! Nice job! I'm jealous!

This is a stunning idea. What a lasting gift to your family! Well worth the effort. Your albums are BEAUTIFUL...no surprise there. :-) It's fun to have a variety of hobbies and be able to express creatively in more than one area. Those are really great!
Your album looks fabulous! A wonderful treasure to look back through for many many years to come. I have a hard enough time to keep up with scrapping everyday life. This is very inspirational tho!
Wow! It turned our beautifully! What a wonderful idea!
I'd also like to know who makes the "pinked edge" kraft binder. What brand divided pages did you use? I liked the variety you had in your book.
